I've been having some constipation. I haven't been eating a lot in the last few days.

Tonight, I had an irregular, and a bit lumpy BM. Then a few hours later, I was very bloated, and when I released some gas, I had leakage. A gooey, chunky consistency.

Now, I have Mucosal Prolapse, not 'true rectal prolapse' according to some. It's mild and it doesn't bother me a lot. Is this it? Or the constipation causing the issue. I've never had this before and I am concerned since I am in remission.

I've been great overall.

Bump.

So you farted and some ick came out?

TBH, it sounds like it was just a wet fart. If the constipation and weird poos continue, I'd start to think you're in a very mild flare.

I farted and some liquidy, almost mucus like goo came out. It didn't smell, like it would with a flare. But I was pretty bloated. And I did have some issues with going the bathroom a few hours before - had to push.

It sounds more like the rectal prolapse. Reason being is that I felt something protrude out afterwards. There's no blood. Or anything like that.

It happened again this morning, but it was just liquid that came out.

Does anyone have knowledge of rectal prolapse??

Sorry this happened to you, but try not to freak out. You wrote that you hadn't been eating much-- maybe you didn't drink enough liquids, either, to stay adequately hydrated. If you have any kind of prolapse in the nether regions pushing down, as with constipation, is likely to aggravate that. Think over your diet and what helps to keep the bms on the soft side; then be sure to eat accordingly. (Even if repetition gets boring.) Take good care on a daily basis, and if/when you slack off one day, make sure it doesn't turn into bad habits.

I haven't had good times with Psyllium seed and husk, do you think Benefibre may help with keeping me regular? I will definitely take out any problem foods, just eat the soft foods. And drink a lot more!

I know how to deal with UC and IBS, but a prolapse is completely different. I've never had this before. So leaking did freak me out. I hope it is just the prolapse. I don't need a flare right now..

What seems weird is the rumbling. It's not in my abdominal area, it's near my rectum. I've had it before, but not this much.

Thanks for the advice, Hat!

You're welcome! I can't speak to fiber supplements 'cause they didn't agree with my gut, but steamed sweet potato helps me in case of irregularity. I let it overcook a bit so it turns out extra moist then eat it plain, w/o adding oil or seasoning. RE rumbling in vicinity of rectum, could be excess gas-- but hopefully Quincy will reply to that aspect of your problem + fiber issue from her knowledge/experience, and give you more helpful info. / Old Hat (33 yrs with left-sided UC; presently in remission taking brandname Colazal)

I can't comment on rectal prolapse, but I will say, when i have rectal rumblings, I am starting to flair. That is just me though...i would start rectals just in case. Hope all will be well with you!

Fiber supplement is iffy for me also. Either too bulky or too loose.


Yeah, when I'm just about to flare, I usually have foul gas, cramping and multiple loose stools. A general feeling of unwell. I'm not having that. My UC is on the D side, while my IBS is more C.
I can up my meds. But I'm not on any rectal meds. I can't use 5asa's, so the only meds I can use is steroid.

I could probably be wrong about this though. Still not sure about this prolapse. sad
